Jimmy is playing a set of pipes made byWilliam Rowsome, father of the great piper, Leo Rowsome.This track is from an old 78 record made back in the 60's called "From the banks of the Slaney".Jimmy who is a founder member of "Na Piobairi Uilleann" and is also a noted reed maker can still be heard playing in various street sessions at fleadhs around the country.

A tune played by Chris MacAuliffe on a set of pipes made by Tom who was a top class flute and pipe maker up to the time of his death two years ago.The pipes can be seen here and are a work of great craftmanship. .
